OSCAR L. SGALBOIVI, OF GLEN VIEW, ILLINOIS.

To.ell/017mmy t Amay concern:

fBeit known that I, OSCAR L. Sortiment, a

citizen of vthe VUnited States, residing :at

Glenview, inthe county lof Cook .andState of Illinois, :have invented certain new rand Y useful Improvements in Cutter `Holders, 'of

lwhich the following isA a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cutter @holders for holding cutter. blades and one of the objects of the invention is to ;pro vide Van improved :holder of this .character embodying members ibetiveen 4which lthe ibla'deis held, and .improved means Where- 'iby one ofthe members ,may be'moved or ad- `justed to cover the `'cutting edge when `the device `is lnot in use and to uncover the `edge when it is 4desired yto use Athe cutter.

'A further object islto'provide an improved holder of `thischaracter embodying means 4for yieldingly lockingone ofgthe members in the position vvhichaitass'uines Whencovering the cutting edge so thatthe edge will not become accidentally uncovered.

A furtherobject is to fprovideanimproved device of this character which Will be light and' compact in construction so that the same may be .readily carried in the pocket With- "out vnecessitating much space `therein.

To the attainment of ftheseends rand the .accomplishment of other `new and useful .objects as `Will appear', the invention consists -in the feature of novelty in the construction and ,arrangement of Vthe several .parts substantially as hereinafter described and-claimed andas vshown in the` accom- 1panying .drawing illustrating the invention p .and in which,

`.Applinzzaton filed August v51', 1923. Serial No. 655,411.

Fig. 7 lis a perspective View of one of the holding members.

lFig. `8 is aperspective vieu7 of a cutter blade vwhich can be used with this device. Fig V9 is a perspective vievvof the other Aholding member'.

Referring moreparticularly to the drawfing the numeral l0, designates one ci the holding members which is rpreferably constructed of thin sheet .material Vand of any desired size and configuration. Projecting laterally from the `member are 'hollow lugs 65 orfprojections lil, any `number of which may be provided and they open through the face of vthe lmember opposite to the face from which the lugs project.

A second .member l2, preferably formed from -thin sheet material and of a size and conguration similar to the, member l0, is

'provided 'to co-operatewvith the member l0,

and between'these members 10,712, a blade 13,'is held.

'The -member l2, is provided With slots 14, one A-for each of the 4lugs or projections 1l. on the member 10, and which lugs also project through fthe openings l5, that are prolVhen'fthe blade4 13, is arranged between the holding members l0, 12, the slots 14:, in the 'member l2, adapt the members for relative movementvone-ivith relation to the other so as to permit one of the members to be 85 ymember 16, will arch over lthe members l0. 95

and-12. to vser-ve as a `handle by means of which the device may be operated.

The element 16, being resilient and bearing upon vthe holding members 10. l2, Will ,cause the Alatter to frictionally clamp the cutter blade, but the tension of the element 16,V `Will not be suiiicient to prevent one ofthe members 10, l2, to be moved one with relation to the `other to cover and uncover ythe cutting edgeiof the cutter. The 10.5

` slots "leere @gellnt length `and the lugs 11, are so located that this adjusting movement of the holding member will not be interfered with. Y Y .Y

Carried by the portion 17, of the element 16, are lugs 19, which areadapted to enter the hollow lugs 11, on the member 10, and carried by the portion 18, of the element 16, are projections 20, any number of Which may be provided, and are adapted to enter an opening 21, in the memberf12. The projections20, may be formed in any desired or suitable manner preferably by deflecting a part of the body of the portion 18. It will thus be seen that when the blade 13 .is placed between the members 10, V12,V and the resilient element 16 is connectedwith the members, the element will cause the members to exert a clamping action upon the blade.

By raising the end of the portion 18, of the element 16, so Yas to move the projections 20, out ofthe opening 21, the member 12, may be; moved with respect to the member 10, to

. uncover the `cutting edge of the blade 13.

The projections 20 and the opening 21,

I are so arranged that the member 12, maybe adjusted fair enough to extend beyond the Vcutting edge of the blade and at that time the projections 20, willspring into the opening 21, to lock the blade in its adjusted position. V

In order to facilitate the lifting of the portion 18, of the element 1G, to permit the member 12, to be adjusted, the extremity of the portion 18, may be deflected away from` Vthe member 12, or laterally with respect to the body portion of itself as at 22.
